Toronto's municipal election is approaching

Awareness of the need and desire for safe cycling infrastructure is higher than ever and the municipal election presents a window to influence the public conversation around building a safe cycling city for all. With new ward boundaries, a number of Council seats are wide open races and others could be hotly contested.

Our #BuildTheGrid municipal election campaign aims to put in place the conditions for a safe cycling network to be built by 2022.

Ask all mayoral and council candidates these three questions:

Will you be a champion for building safe connected bike routes in my neighbourhood?

Will you support building protected bike lanes on main streets? (Bloor, Danforth, Yonge, etc.)

Do you support accelerating the City’s 10-Year Cycling Network Plan to be completed in the next four years, instead of by 2026?

The campaign intends to mobilize Torontonians like you to ask candidates for office about their commitment to supporting the build-out of the cycling plan, including on main streets like Yonge, Danforth and Bloor, and to adequately funding the plan so it gets built by 2022 (four years ahead of schedule). We desperately need bold action to get to safer streets for all - and a healthier, more active city.
